Odin lets anyone, anywhere launch and run a private investment firm online - think Shopify for Venture Capital and Private Equity. We handle the full back office stack end to end, flexibly: legal structuring, investor onboarding, KYC/AML, payments, tax, reporting, and exits. We administer over $500m in assets, covering investments from pre-seed to pre-IPO. This includes household names like OpenAI and SpaceX but also new companies focusing on tons of cool things like: - Next-gen micronuclear reactors - Atmospheric CO₂ removal at gigaton scale - Asteroid mining - Space-based manufacturing (fiber, alloys, pharmaceuticals) - Crazy biotech eg. wet computers based on human neurons We believe capital is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the world - and more people should be putting it to work. We also have a strong conviction that some of the best capital allocators do not fit the “traditional mould” of a VC or private equity investor. If youve got sector expertise in an interesting field, youve never been an VC / PE investor before but youve thought about it, feel free to reach out.

MAGIC uses computer vision, connected weights and 3D cameras to deliver personal training by the worlds best athletes at home. MAGIC is the first in the world to allow users to perform exercises in front of an intelligent hologram mirror which uses our own custom computer vision software to correct real-time form, rep count, and give live feedback to give a completely hyper-personalised workout. We have combined this with our patent-pending dumbbells and co-created workout content with the worlds leading athletes. Similar to how Masterclass.com has done for the higher arts, we enable anyone to be coached by the world’s best in sport, strength, yoga, boxing, dance etc. Users get 1:1 hyper-personalised tracking and feedback as if being personally trained + corrected by them -- but without having to pay £100s a week in typical personal training fees. We are stocked in Selfridges, were named Techround’s #1 IoT startup 2021 and were recently backed by Virgin Startup. We are venture capital backed by 2 leading multi $billion VC funds who also invested in unicorns: Grover, Scalapay and Onfido as well as the founders/angels from Spotify, Stripe, Facebook, Hopin and Tough Mudder.
